July's CPI and PPI inflation figures were high
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
Statistics South Africa released July's CPI and PPI figures this week and the inflation rates were even higher than everyone expected. In July, consumer price inflation rose by 7.8% on a year-on-year basis and producer price inflation by 18%. In both cases, the major drivers were increases in the prices of food and energy. Whether July will be the turning point is difficult to say. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
